This morning I have been near tears, twice. It is only 11:42a. They were both inspired by little bits of life that came across my computer, something to keep me from doing any work. The first was a link from someone posting on facebook. It was a public service announcement about the dangers of melanoma. It was a group of people each writing their “Dear 16 yr old me,” letters outloud. They were all survivors of the cancer or lost someone to the cancer.
The second was one of those inspiration chain letters. A family friend still sends them to me and most of the time I don’t even read them the whole way through. This one had a quick story about a man who counted 3800 Saturdays in an average 75 yr old’s life. At 55 he put 1000 marbles in a container and took one out every Saturday.
It all boils down to making each day count, appreciating what you have, reassessing priorities, and taking care of yourself. These things I know. These thoughts I think every day.
Today my eyes welled up. Probably the stress, the 85 hr work week, seeing my family last night, or I’m sleepy.
In short, I should be careful this week.
